thanks a lot, harry reid. with today's losses we have wiped out december's gains on the stock market. today, also by the way, takes the very dubious prize of being the worst day of december for all three averages and the worst day since november the 14th. we are now down on the stock market for the fourth day in a row and the vix, guys, is jumping. let's get straight down to the trading store and find out the buzz. seema modi is manning the nas desk. >> a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff thought it was a certainty at the beginning of the month. today not so much. senator reid's comments and a dismal report triggering a selloff that a lot of pessimists had expected sooner than today because they didn't think the deal on the cliff would be done. the dow dropping below 13,000 for the first time today sings the beginning of this month. now negative as well for the month of december. trading at a three-week low with all 30 of the dow components in negative territory. with the dow below 13,000 the s&p is notching up i
